Default Northern VA Skyline drive CRUISE/GTG

I want to take my wife on a nice cruise threw the mountains and I was thinking that maybe we could get some of the guys/gals together and do a cruise on skyline drive, starting in front royal and going either the whole way threw (75 miles) or at least make it most of the way. i would like to make it to the Byrd visitor center which is about 50 miles in.stop there and eat take pictures BS a lil bit and head back towards front royal.. i was thinking of doing it the 29th of september.. who else would like to join? NO HIGH SPEED RACING threw the mountains, might get a lil spirited here and there but this is just going to be a nice relaxing cruise with the wife and thought it would be nice to have others there for pictures and videos of the cruise.. post up if your interested
